Generative AI accelerates target screening and due diligence, boosts research capabilities, and strengthens partner relationships through tailored visual presentations across the investment lifecycle.

Here is a Tax Weekly Roundup from member Morri Rossetti. Some of the main clarifications of practice and jurisprudence made in the current week, relating to the following topics: - It is not convenient for companies to rent to start-ups with rents commensurate with turnover  - Membership fees: the donation to the shareholder who already owns the control is taxable - Credits deemed non-existent by the AdE: the taxpayer must prove his reasons - The total sale of shareholdings is not reclassified as a sale of a business - Sale of all shares: registration tax at a fixed rate - Informal donations between parents and children without taxation - Correction of accounting errors with restoration of the previous tax regime - Refund of VAT charged in excess of the receipt allowed - Residence abroad: failure to submit the RW form is not sanctioned Referrals Davide Attilio Rossetti | Head of Dept.

Thrilling news for the Private Equity market in this 2024! In my view, it's kicking off with a bang, and there are few reasons fueling this surge. Firstly, the sector has showcased remarkable resilience to market fluctuations, presenting ample opportunities in the mid-market segment, along with reduced volatility and promising long-term returns. Furthermore, we are observing an expected shift in interest rates, which could catalyze a resurgence in M&A activities. With the cost of capital on the decline, acquisitions become increasingly appealing, allowing companies to expand their footprint through strategic acquisitions. This creates an opportune moment for private equity firms to divest their holdings in a dynamic environment, potentially leading to amplified returns. I look forward to seeing how these developments shape the industry's trajectory.

Very interesting on Italy 🌍🏭: -306 Italian billion-euro-companies (i.e., more than 1Bn in revenues) -Significant share of these controlled by non-italians (44%), also due to integration in larger multinationals groups -Italian billion-euro-companies are smaller than European peers with large opportunity to scale private sector - top 10 largest German companies have higher revenues than all 306 Italian billion-euro-companies -Top 3 companies by revenues in Italy are Government Related Entities, unlike US, UK & Germany

The resurgence of M&A activity in Italy, particularly driven by private equity funds, signifies a robust start to the year following a subdued 2023. The increase in announced acquisitions, up 3% compared to the same period last year, with nearly half attributed to private equity and infrastructure funds, reflects a significant annual leap of 26%. This trend suggests a growing confidence among investors and a renewed interest in strategic partnerships and business expansion in the Italian market. #MA #Privateequity #Update
